hotel brochure
Could you tell me if the following wording sounds natural for an expression in a hotel brochure ?
Five minutes by foot from Harajuku station, and facing a main street known as Omotesando dori, this hotel is great for sightseeing and shopping.

Yes, that looks mostly fine to me, but I think "Dori" should be capitalised (per capitalisation of "Street", "Avenue" etc. in English-language street names). " already covers it.

You might also consider translating it to "Street" or "Avenue", depending on the usual convention, or you may feel that "main street known as..." already covers it.
